A review by mlindner
Original Sin: A Cultural History by Alan Jacobs

3.0

I had intended to write a review of this, which is why I am only now making it as finished, but I have lost the desire. Part of the issue is that I do not think that I would fairly do so as I wanted it to be a different book. Or something. As best as I can say I wanted it to be a different book and if I am going to review it then I ought review the book the author wrote and not the one it isn't.

I will say that although it was interesting, I did almost give it up a couple of times. But that be related to my wanting it to be something else.

I want to rate it 2 stars for "It was OK" because that is how I feel, at best, about my experience of reading it but I'm giving it 3 since I know that my opinion is being influenced by wanting something else and I do believe that Jacobs' wrote the book he said he meant to write.
